Quantum of Solace

Daniel Craigs second go round as 007 was entertaining but not the total package like the last one. Still leagues better than most of the other cartoony ones with terrible puns and lame acting. Sorry Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry, you guys sucked.

Craig and the new version of James Bond is much more intense. He is vicious and more believable as an agent/assassin. The action is a lot more realistic too. Just the story wasn't as good as casino royale. He still bangs hot chicks though which is always good.

The Pineapple Express

Sucks.

Not because of my hatred towards everything Apatow, but stoner "comedies" do nothing for me. This one especially as I think I laughed at about two things. Those things had nothing to do with pot, nothing to do with the main characters, as it was Danny McBride who was the most entertaining part of the movie.

The story is what it is. Pot head witnesses a murder, goes on the run. The action part at the end was pretty good. But all the jokes, all the whole friendship shit, it was lame and boring. As is usually the case with an Apatow production, it is longer than it should be, and it feels it. One thing about the whole friendship deal, it was just like Superbad too, also written by Rogen and his pal Evan whatever his jewish last name is. (of course theres mention of Rogen being Jewish in it too. Guys we get it)

Overall, lame. Dont get it. Dont get the hype. Miss actually funny comedies and not this lame ass shit

Quarantine

This is similar to the Diary of the Dead, but its a news reporter documenting a night with the fire department. There is a call to a building, and some old bitch is going crazy. All hell breaks loose as she starts attacking people, thus transforming them into monsters.

They arent zombies, they are actually infected with rabies, which is what causes the quarantine of the building.

This was surprisingly good for being in the Blair Witch/Cloverfield way of movies. It was crazy to think that this could really happen, and they wouldn't give a shit if you're the pope, if you're quarantined due to disease, you're fucked. It wasn't a generic jump out scare, but more a wow this could happen type deal.

It was cool though. Good gore, good stuff. I liked it.

Fast and Furious

Quick.

If you liked the first one, you'll love this installment. All the originals are back, and this is supposed to take place a little after the first movie, as one of the Tokyo Drift characters is in it, before heading to Tokyo.

Good action, hot chicks, etc. etc. Vin Diesel is portrayed as a beast in it on a mission for revenge. The story is deeper than any of the previous ones, although its not the craziest deal out there. A movie like this, doesnt need it though. Thats why I like it. Highly recommend if you like brainless fun and cool car scenes
